Xbox is giving everyone a big "business update" this week. Let's talk about it.

Announced last week and confirmed via an official X post, this Xbox business update is almost certainly about reports that trickled in earlier this month regarding Xbox's potential plans to bring previously exclusive games to other platforms.

We don't yet know exactly what that entails, but we do at least know when and where to tune in and find out.

Xbox business update: When and how to watch

This is the easy part. Xbox's X post (let's settle down on the letter X for a while) says the business update will go live at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, Feb. 15. It can be seen on Xbox's YouTube page or "wherever you listen to your podcasts," suggesting this will be an audio-friendly presentation. If you'd rather take it in via Apple Podcasts or Spotify, go right ahead.

Xbox business update: What we know

As for what this actually means for consumers, the thinking right now is that a select number of current and potentially future Xbox (and PC) exclusive titles will come to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles, too. The rumored titles in question are:

  • Starfield

  • Hi-Fi Rush

  • Sea of Thieves

  • Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

The first three games on that list have already been out for some time, and all are rumored to get PlayStation (and Switch, in Hi-Fi Rush's case only) releases in the near-ish future. Indiana Jones, on the other hand, is slated for release this year, and could be Xbox-exclusive for an unclear amount of time before moving over to PlayStation.

At least, that's what the rumors say. We won't know for sure until Thursday. Buckle up, folks.
